I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"How is this possible?!"

Everyone in the Taiyi Sect let out the same exclamation.

Shen Ming had just displayed the Taiqing Youtian martial arts realm, leading them to believe that he had secretly learned the "Martial Arts Classic".

Shen Ming's imposing manner just now was probably just a bluff.

Elder Xingzun used the Martial King Mirror with the aim of exposing Shen Mingzhen's true colors.

But now...

"Today, the Taiyi Sect has become a complete joke."

Several people thought of this at the same time.

He was supposed to steal the show, but he ended up playing the clown the whole time.

"this!"

Elder Yue Zun, who had just spoken the loudest and fiercest, seemed to have been struck by an invisible blow.

Elder Sun Venerable's gaze fell on Zhou Mutian and Zhou Muchen.

If Zhou Mutian hadn't been ranked number one on the Hidden Dragon List, this elder would definitely have punished him.

Zhou Mutian pursed his lips, displeased with the elder's misplaced anger.

Even if he doesn't come forward to speak, the three elders will still make trouble.

As Elder Xingzun was taken aback, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, the air in the grand event seemed to freeze.

Xuan Tian Sect Leader Liang Mingxi stood up, and the aura he exuded in every gesture inspired awe in all who beheld him.

The gentle aura that had emanated from him, whether intentional or not, was gone, replaced by a cold and dazzling presence.

With just one glance, the three elders of 'Sun, Moon and Star' felt a chill run down their spines.

The majesty in those eyes made their hearts clench, and an indescribable sense of oppression washed over them.

They stood there, not daring to breathe.

"Is this the majesty of the Sovereign Realm?!"

Those at the half-step Dominator realm felt despair.

Today, at the grand ceremony, they saw the youngest Sovereign Realm expert in the Northern Region and were filled with envy.

However, the Xuan Tian Sect Leader possessed a restrained and extraordinary talent.

Their idea was to join forces and fight against this Xuan Tian Sect Master.

Now they realize that this half-step is a chasm.

Their thinking became: "With so many of us attacking together, the Xuan Tian Sect Leader can't possibly kill us all, can he?"

At this moment, Zhou Mutian felt his hair stand on end, and an invisible pressure enveloped his entire body.

With each breath, I could feel my bones being squeezed.

It was Liang Mingxi looking at him, her gaze so intense it could crush him at any moment.

"Sect Leader Xuantian! I didn't agree! You can't!"

Zhou Mutian's voice was tinged with a sob.

He hadn't forgotten what Shen Ming had just said: abolish cultivation and destroy his soul.

But he didn't agree, and Elder Xingzun took action without permission.

He and Elder Xingzun were not master and disciple, so he was not subject to this karma.

It was his younger brother, Zhou Muchen, who agreed.

Zhou Muchen retreated repeatedly. Despite his earlier boastful demeanor, he was completely lacking in confidence at this critical moment.

"Hahahaha! Feng Jingyu! You stole my beloved woman back then, and now you want to humiliate me? I'll fight you to the death!"

At the critical moment, Elder Xingzun burst into maniacal laughter, overturned the table and chairs, and slammed his head forward.

With a loud bang, Elder Xingzun collided with the invisible aura half a meter away from Liang Mingxi and bounced back.

"I don't want to live anymore! Everyone is bullying me! I don't want to live anymore!" He cried loudly, his hair disheveled.

"this?!"

This is truly playing the clown!

Many martial artists at the Innate Realm were amazed, having never seen anything like this before at the Half-Step Dominator Realm.

"The Xuan Tian Sect Leader drove the Taiyi Sect's Supreme Elder insane with just one look!"

Young people are filled with passion when they think about this.

"That old man is pretending to be crazy, trying to get away with it."

The old man, however, felt it wasn't that simple.

In secular dynasties, if a subject committed a heinous crime, he would pretend to be insane and run naked through the streets to escape punishment.

Elder Xingzun did the same thing.

He directly used the Martial King realm against Xuan Tianzi. Without giving an explanation, Xuan Tian Sect will not let this go.

But it must be said that Elder Xingzun was acting crazy today because he was drunk, which actually makes him somewhat convincing.

Ah!

Another shrill scream rang out, and everyone looked to see Zhou Muchen lying on the ground howling, now a cripple.

The one who made the move was Elder Yue Zun, and his ruthlessness was so extreme that even the other disciples of the Taiyi Sect felt a chill in their hearts.

“Sect Leader Xuantian, my third brother’s lifespan is approaching, and his Dao heart is unstable. He lost his composure today and was driven to madness by a series of provocations. It is all his own fault.”

"The one who made the false accusation was punished instead. We misunderstood the Xuan Tianzi. Zhou Muchen privately taught the Taiqing Youtianbu, and this is also his fate."

The two deities, Sun and Moon, each uttered a single sentence, and dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Liang Mingxi didn't speak, but Zhou Mutian felt the pressure on his body lessen.

He was incredibly glad he hadn't agreed, otherwise he would have ended up like his brother.

"elder brother!"

Zhou Muchen rolled on the ground and howled.

In an instant, Zhou Mutian's eyes reddened. His mother had repeatedly told him to take good care of his younger brother.

But now, in front of everyone, the younger brother has become a cripple, his future ruined!

Liang Mingxi! Fortune changes every thirty years!

The humiliation of today will be repaid tenfold in the future!

Zhou Mutian believed it was all a matter of strength. He thought how wonderful it would be if he were a Dominator Realm expert!

Liang Mingxi gradually softened his tone and regained some of his gentleness.

Some people had the misconception that the Xuan Tian Sect Leader had simply gotten up unintentionally and terrified the Taiyi Sect.

Elder Yili said, "We feel very bad that Elder Xingzun suffered such a ailment at our Xuantian Grand Ceremony. From today onwards, Elder Xingzun will stay in our Xuantian Sect until his illness is cured!"

hiss!

This means they don't intend to let Elder Xingzun pretend to be crazy and get away with it.

They want to detain the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect.

This is equivalent to slapping Taiyi Sect in the face.

"We are extremely grateful," the Sun and Moon Venerables replied repeatedly.

At this point, it seemed the matter was coming to an end.

"Shen Ming, what do you think?" Liang Mingxi asked the person in question.

He hadn't forgotten that it was Shen Ming himself who had been wronged, not the Emperor Xuan's identity.

"I want to cripple Zhou Mutian!!"

Shen Ming's words caused the atmosphere, which had just eased, to freeze again.

Each person looked on incredulously.

One member of the Taiyi Sect was crippled, and another went insane, yet the Xuan Emperor still wouldn't give up.

It would have been better if Zhou Mutian had agreed just now.

To abolish something without even agreeing to it seems a bit too domineering!

Some Supreme Realm experts who were close to the Taiyi Sect thought of speaking up to mediate the fight.

Then, they realized that Liang Mingxi was really considering it, and they all shut their mouths.

Zhou Mutian, who was plotting his revenge, was startled.

Are you out of your mind? Shouldn't I be the one who's angry?!

His heart was pounding, and he dared not look at Liang Mingxi.

"Of course, I'll do it myself."

Shen Ming changed the subject, saying, "I'm holding you accountable for this today, Zhou Mutian. Remember that."

The Taiyi Sect members trembled in fear, one in a sorry state and the other in a daze, finally venting their pent-up anger.

Instead of letting the sect leader cripple Zhou Mutian, it's better to do it yourself.

Zhou Mutian is at the late stage of the third realm of the Innate Realm and is ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, which seems to indicate a large gap between them.

However, he could easily surpass him in the face of his innate sacred body and Dao embryo.

“A threat that can’t be fulfilled is just a joke,” Zhou Mutian said through gritted teeth.

The Taiyi Sect felt a chill run down their spines; at this point, they decided not to utter any threats.

However, after Zhou Mutian finishes participating in this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, he will break through to the Supreme Realm.

"is it?"

Shen Ming neither confirmed nor denied, without emphasizing anything.

That's precisely why the confidence he exudes is palpable to everyone.
